Yes, because ProTile™ building panels have a rating of R-4 (hr·ft2·°F) / BTU so they provide the thermal break that many floor warming manufacturers recommend. ProTile™ building panels will help your floor warm up faster, produce a more even heat and help save you dollars in the long run as the heat from your system is directed up into your tile rather than being lost into the substrate.
ProTile™ building panels are one of few foam core backerboards that have passed the rigorous ASTM C627: “Standard Test Method for Evaluating Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson-Type Floor Tester” as proscribed by the Tile Council of North America, earning ProTile™ building panels an EXTRA HEAVY duty rating. ProTile™ building panels are appropriate in demanding environments such as car dealerships, breweries and dairies as well as residential and other commercial wet or dry area applications.
